PAL Express (short for Philippine Airlines Express) is the low-cost regional airline brand of Philippine Airlines. PAL Express operates from Mactan-Cebu International Airport in Cebu City, with smaller operations from PAL's main hub in Manila, flying primarily intra-regional routes in the Visayas and Mindanao, as well as secondary routes to smaller airports in island provinces that are not able to accommodate mainline PAL jet aircraft.[1] As a brand of Philippine Airlines, PAL Express shares livery and interline benefits with mainline PAL. PAL Express flights are also integrated into and noted as regular PAL flights in the PAL flight numbering system. However, unlike mainline PAL, no inflight services are provided in-flight. All PAL Express flights are operated by Air Philippines.[2]
[edit] HistoryOn 10 April 2008, Philippine Airlines announced the order for aircraft that will form the PAL Express fleet. It will consist of aircraft from the Bombardier Q family, three from the Q300 series and six from the Q400 series, presently manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace and currently valued at $150 million.[3] PAL announced on April 13 that the new fleet will be based mainly in Cebu City to serve regional routes, while flights from Manila will also be launched.[4] PAL Express was formally unveiled on 14 April 2008. PAL Express will primarily fly intra-regional routes in the Visayas and Mindanao from its Cebu hub, as well as secondary routes to smaller airports in island provinces that are not able to accommodate PAL’s regular jet aircraft. Service will ramp up dramatically on 19 May when Cebu hub operations commence with flights between Cebu City and five points in the Visayas and Mindanao.[1] On 5 May 2008, PAL Express began operations by launching flights to Malay.[5] The airline on the same day announced it will serve 22 inter-island routes, including some provincial points currently without air service.[6] Flights out of Cebu City commenced on 19 May. On 1 July 2009, PAL Express flights began earning Mabuhay Miles. Since 27 October 2009, all PAL Express flights are being operated by Air Philippines.
